What does Une Ville. Un Parfum - 02 New York smell like?

Bergamot gives a fresh opening, then cinnamon and cardamom add a spicy warmth. Cedar and vanilla sit underneath; as it dries it turns sweeter, with the gourmand and powdery sides coming forward while woody and resinous tones stay behind.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend fall and spring, and leisure and daily wear lead, with evening and work not far behind. Feminine votes edge ahead of masculine ones, though the latter are sizable, so it sits between the two. Parfums de Marly Dorval and Laboratorio Olfattivo Alambar have a close profile.
